Precalculus

Precalculus, 2nd Edition, is a mathematics textbook designed to bridge conceptual and engagement gaps for students entering courses underprepared. Authors Julie Miller and Donna Gerken developed the material to support mathematical maturity and strengthen understanding of core principles.

The text covers functions and relations alongside polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. It also addresses trigonometric functions, analytic trigonometry, applications of trigonometry, polar coordinate systems, and vectors.

To aid instruction, the textbook integrates with ALEKS to combine personalized modules with instructor-assigned coursework into constructive learning paths.
